Accepted Answer

OK, thanks for the reply. I do not expect there to be a significant absorption of the medicine, by this route. Most dogs who puncture inhaler cartridges are not likely to have any serious toxicity symptoms. As you may have already read elsewhere, rapid heart rate and excitability are common symptoms of albuterol intoxication, but I would not expect these issues to create any serious problems in this case. Keep a close eye on him, and see a veterinarian immediately if you notice any distress.
